| In 2021 a ten year old refugee called Little Amal embarked on a remarkable journey that took her from the Syrian border across turkey, across Europe and in 2022 to Ukraine, Poland, and New York City. Next, she will journey across the United States. Amal is a 12-foot tall puppet. She represents all children who have been forced to leave their homes and are often separated from their friends and families. She journeys in search of her mother. To get back to school. To start a new life. On the way she has been welcomed by more than a million people on the streets and tens of millions online. In 2023, she will journey across the United States carrying her urgent message on behalf of all displaced people, especially children: “Don’t forget about us.” We ask the world not to forget about children who have had to flee their homes because of war or other reasons beyond their control. |
